Hematopathologic and cytogenetic findings in imatinib mesylate treated chronic myelogenous leukemia patients: 2.5 years' experience [PDF]
Background/Aim. Imatinib mesylate, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor with specific activity against the breakpoint cluster region - Abelson murine leukemia (BCR-ABL) tyrosine kinase has been developed for treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML).

Postoperative Cure for Metastatic Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a mesenchymal tumor derived from Cajal cells originating from the myotonic plexus. The expression of tyrosine kinase (KIT) membrane receptors that are active on KIT is inhibited by the KIT inhibitor imatinib ...

Role for targeted resection in the multidisciplinary treatment of metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor [PDF]
The management of advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) has evolved in the modern era due to the discovery of c-kit mutations and the development of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).

Imatinib mesylate causes hypopigmentation in the skin [PDF]
AbstractBACKGROUNDImatinib mesylate is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets the BCR‐ABL protein in CML, c‐kit (KIT) and platelet‐derived growth factor receptors. In clinical trials with imatinib mesylate, common side effects of nausea, emesis, diarrhea, periorbital edema, fluid retention, and myelosuppression have been documented.METHODSIn this ...

Eradication of chronic myeloid leukemia stem cells: a novel mathematical model predicts no therapeutic benefit of adding G-CSF to imatinib [PDF]
Imatinib mesylate induces complete cytogenetic responses in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), yet many patients have detectable BCR-ABL transcripts in peripheral blood even after prolonged therapy.

Hematologic and cytogenetic responses to imatinib mesylate in chronic myelogenous leukemia.
BACKGROUND Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is caused by the BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase, the product of the Philadelphia chromosome. Imatinib mesylate, formerly STI571, is a selective inhibitor of this kinase.
